Knowledge base in your language

Change the language pill in the topbar and the help drawer changes with you — same article, same examples, in your language.

The rule: pick your language once in the topbar. The help drawer follows it wherever a translation exists, and shows English with a visible badge where one doesn’t. There’s no separate help-language switch to find.

How it works

The EN ▾ pill lists every language your venue has turned on under Settings → Languages. It sets everything translatable at once — menu items, dish descriptions, ingredient names, help pages. Your choice is remembered per person, not per venue, so you can read in Italian while your manager reads in Thai.

Italian and Thai are the two languages the whole handbook is kept in, and both are published on the public help site too. Other languages show English until their pages are written.

Two badges, two meanings

  • EN — you picked another language and this page isn’t translated yet. Nothing is broken; you’re reading the English on purpose.
  • ⚠️ outdated — a translation exists but the English changed after it was made. The bulk is still right; switch the pill to EN for the current text.

A page is one or the other, never both. Most are neither.

Refreshing a page (super admins)

Every page carries a 🌐 Translate button — or 🌐 Re-translate (outdated) when the banner is showing. One click redoes every published language in about thirty seconds, and a panel shows a row per language: green done, red failed. Clicking again retries only what failed.

It always translates from the English, whatever language you happen to be reading when you press it. Each click costs a couple of cents, so don’t loop it.

Good to know

  • There’s nothing to switch on. The drawer reads your pill every time it opens.
  • The article list shows EN badges, so you can see at a glance what’s been translated.
  • Button and screen names inside a translated page match what your admin actually says — they’re taken from the interface itself, not guessed at.
  • You can edit a translation by hand, but you shouldn’t need to. Hand-editing is for proofreading.
